As a child I was a bit of a Tom Boy, or Tom Ghoul (as I would say before learning to properly pronounce my R's). I have to admit that it took me a rather long time to really develop a taste for these soft colors, but develop a taste I did! I do love my pastels; particularly when paired with nudes, metallic golds and silvers, and especially with bright accents of shocking pink.
Pastels are the talk of the town this Spring thanks in part to films such as The Artist and the upcoming Gatsby movie as well as Boardwalk Empire and of course Mad Men. How could designers not be inspired or at least influenced by the lovely palletes and silhouettes of the 1920's -30's as well as the early 1960's.
Here are a few of my favorite pastel pieces currently available at the Noble Savage Vintage shop on Ruby Lane.
A bias cut chiffon confection with a fabulous ruffled collar and gathered sleeves in a soft, yet minty sorbet green. Hungry yet?
